The half-life of a nuclide is 737 hrs

Let the initial mass of nuclide is N° = 100

The final mass of nuclide after 407 hours

= 100 - 38 = 62

The expression for decay constant is

λ = 1/t ln(N°/Nt)

Substitute the given values and calculate the decay constant as,

λ = 1/407hr ln(100/62)

λ = 9.4 x 10^-4/hr

Now, the half-life is calculated as,

t1/2 = 0.693/λ

= 0.693/9.4 x 10^-4/hr

t1/2 = 737 hrs

Hence, the half-life of a nuclide is 737 hrs

A baseball player throws a ball horizontally at the same moment another baseball player jobs a second ball straight down from th
attashe74 [19]

I don't know what you mean when you say he "jobs" the other ball, and the answer to this question really depends on that word.

I'm going to say that the second player is holding the second ball, and he just opens his fingers and lets the ball <u><em>drop</em></u>, at the same time and from the same height as the first ball.

Now I'll go ahead and answer the question that I've just invented:

Strange as it may seem, <em>both</em> balls hit the ground at the <em>same time</em> ... the one that's thrown AND the one that's dropped.  The horizontal speed of the thrown ball has no effect on its vertical acceleration, so both balls experience the same vertical behavior.

And here's another example of the exact same thing:

Say you shoot a bullet straight out of a horizontal rifle barrel, AND somebody else <em>drops</em> another bullet at exactly the same time, from a point right next to the end of the rifle barrel.  I know this is hard to believe, but both of those bullets hit the ground at the same time too, just like the baseballs ... the bullet that's shot out of the rifle and the one that's dropped from the end of the barrel.

Describe the interactive roles and statuses of individuals and groups in your community.
julia-pushkina [17]
In our community, every person takes a certain role in a way that they contribute something for the development of the community. Certain interactive roles include trainings, team buildings, meetings, fund raising, and etc. Every individual has also gained their own statuses depending on what they have achieved and what they have contributed as well. Those individuals that are classified in the higher statuses are those who are experienced and trained to lead. These roles and statuses help our community become better as well as helping the youth to be great models and individuals in the future.
